HERE is a logical, practical way to do everythin-g7 even the r.-tolfittg problem has become a simplified, economical operaiion due to the completely satisfactory development of Pioneer Yosemite Asphalt Shingles.
These practical shingles eliminate the old, wasteful method-of re-roofing. The mis-spent time ind efiort to tear ofi the old shingles, clean them up and haul ih"- away is now a needless expense.
Pioneer Yosemite Asphalt Shingles go right over the- old wood shingles without an hour lost ln t.rr"""J"ury preparation. This alone effects a bis s.virre. but their real economy is the result of long, trouble-fre€ servi-g; M"i. of red, green, blue, black or golden brown crushed stone, from Yosemite, laid-over a high quality asphalt base, -their protective armor and natural colors are as enduring as the stone itself.
All lumber, building material and hardware dealers sell them_ becaus-e they are in gr"ui d.*uttJ fot new roofs as well as for economical re-roofing.
